    The lizard of the son of George Romero

    Through a curious turn of events I have come upon the ownership of the lizard of the son of George Romero.

    His name is Rex and he is a three year old Savannah monitor lizard.

    You must come to my home in the east side of Pittsburgh because I will not ship him.

    Although I'm not a big fan of lizards, he has become my friend and I will only release him to someone that I'm sure will take care of him.

    He is quite healthy and is about 18 inches long. He is eating adult mice on a weekly or biweekly basis and comes with an aquarium and heat lamp.

    I'm third in line of this odd inheritance and hope that I don't offend the Romero family in any way but I hoped that I would not only find a lizard lover amongst you but also someone who might appreciate his fine heritage.

    You now have the award for the strangest first post ever on this site! And believe me, there's some strong competition out there!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    What can I say? I live in the 'Burgh!

    How can the truth be the weirdest first-time post? I'm sure there are some psychos out there with much weirder fantasy posts, no?

    As an addendum, Rex shall forever only be introduced as "The Lizard of, the Son of, George Romero". It is how he was introduced to me, and it is how I introduce him to my friends and associates.

    I'll say one thing: This sounds like the beginnings of one of the scariest, based on true events, horror movie any of US could ever imagine.
    You have to admit, no?
    Come for the lizard, stay for the eternal torment.
    Sweeet tagline for the poster, eh?

    Give greetings to the Romero family!

    Obviously I'm not in Pittsburgh area but I can offer a bump.

    Thanks for your attention!
